This is my picture when I was dead

Mahmoud al-Massad 2010 docu 83 min.

Athens, 1983. The world press reports that 4 year old Bashir is killed in
the assassination of his father, a top PLO lieutenant. But what if death is
not the end of his journey? What if, in life, like his father, Bashir was
today deeply political. Yet, rather than expressing himself with weapons,
he uses a means he loved as a child: drawing. Bashir Meraish has today
become the finest political cartoonist in Jordan. Now 29 years old, he
lives on to witness the dream of Palestinian liberation he and his father
died for being steadily ground to dust. Al Massad's bold stylistic approach
stretches the limits of established documentary making to tell a very
personal story, the reality of which is far stranger than fiction.
